identify the child grand parent pair that has a diamond. In the second rule you
match exactly one of the parents and create the inheritance (this can be done

which is binded by the base1 object pattern in the first match. And also in the
second match base1 object pattern binds the base class which is binded by the
base2 object pattern in the first match. Does the GReAt allows cross binding in
multiple matches???<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The myHouse1.mga model contains 6 Room-s and 7 AdjacentTo connections,
5 <br>
of which has doors.<br>
The rule effectively counts the number of AdjacentTo connections, and <br>
discards those with attribute 'hasDoor' set to false (see the HasDoor <br>
guard). Then for each match, the rule increments the Quantity counter in <br>
OrderItem.<br>
<br>
GReAT does not have any support for variable pattern cardinality, currently.<br>
But you can get the effect of fixed multiple pattern cardinality by <br>
using multiple pattern objects to specify the cardinality.<br>
The GReAT execut ion engine binds each pattern variable to a unique <br>
obj ect in the input model.<br>
<br>
For example, if you want to find out if a class 'Derived' has multiple <br>
base classes, then you will specify one Derived pattern object, Derived, <br>
and two Base pattern objects: Base1, and Base2. Next connect Base1 and <br>
Derived, Base2 and Derived with pattern association representing the <br>
inheritance association. Finally, set the 'for all' attribute to false.<br>
This rule will find one match if class Derived has multiple base classes <br>
of type Base, because each Base pattern object gets bound to a separate <br>
unique Base class object in your input model. If Derived has 0 or 1 base <br>
class, the rule will find no match.<br>
<br>
The limitation of this solution is that you cannot refer to the base <br>
classes using pattern objects, except Base1 and Base2, which two are <br>
selected in a non-deterministic manner.<br>
However, you can write UDM code to fetch all bases of class Derive d in <br>
an Attribute Mapping block, eg:<br>
set< Base> b ases= Derived.super_classes();<br>
subsitute super_classes with the role name of the inheritance association.<br>
